questions-and-help

[cursive ridge]

you don't have to do anything

[craggy tinsel]

any meaningful money at the start of an expansion usually involves leveling crafters/gatherers, yes

[faint flare]

Just look at what selling on market board

[cursive ridge]

there's no cookie cutter recipe to making money

[faint flare]

Go get it and sell it

[cursive ridge]

you will have to find it yourself

[pallid pawn]

yeah the auction house system on this game seems super whack

retainers are confusing

[cobalt yoke]

I hate that there is a tax on both ends of transactions

[narrow jay]

There used to be, in the form of actual cookies lol

[deft rock]

old sharlayan has 0% atm

but purchase has 5%

[scarlet arrow]

it's also worth noting that unless you are chasing glams or are funding high-level crafting there's really no reason you need to go out and make money

[twilit arch]

there's plenty of passive ways to get gil

running roulettes, doing treasure maps, selling materia etc

[cobalt yoke]

I make more that enough money just questing and levelling

[serene steppe]

But numbers go up

[cobalt yoke]

still waste a bunch on glamours too

[twilit arch]

but when it comes to crafting/gathering most of the lucrative ways of getting gil is paying attention to the marketboard and seeing what sells well

[deft rock]

this is probably the best way to get gil comfy as a new player @pallid pawn

[lapis ocean]

I'm gonna be trying to farm money through a myriad of methods. Crafting is kind of a large barrier to entry since you need all of crafting jobs leveled and geared. So I was gonna try gathering, eureka, bozja and farming old extremes

[serene steppe]

I have almost 10million gil and I plan to do absolutely nothing with it lmao

[cobalt yoke]

Another way to be efficient is to level through leves but make more items than you need to hand in so you can sell them

[craggy tinsel]

this is the part where six people ask for it and put a "/s unless 👀" at the end

[cobalt yoke]

you get lots of xp and money

[faint flare]

Desynth has made me like 3mil already just rolling on everything and desynth

[serene steppe]

I lied actually

I need that money to fund mu fishing hobby

[fringe reef]

hi, i cancelled the party replenishment by accident after someone left in the duty, can i enable it again?

[craggy tinsel]

hit O

I think it's in that menu

if not, hit U

[fringe reef]

i tried O but i dont see it AH its in U thanks

[pallid pawn]

I only have like 150k gil, I'm down bad ;)

[serene steppe]

So wait a second.
I resubbed November 28th
Counting the 21 free days, how much game time I have left?

[robust crow]

has there been any mentions of increasing glamour storage and plates

[open coral]

You should have until around January... 20th? I think?

[open coral]

They've mentioned it in passing as something they're looking at, but nothing definitive.

[serene steppe]

Nice
Without the free days sub would have renwed around when Pandemonium would be released lol

[serene steppe]

So can anyone give me some tips real quick on how to be gear ready for Pandemonium Savage?

Mainly on gearing

[open coral]

Farm tomestones for left side gear and one ring. Farm the two available EX trials for accessories (EX1) and weapon (EX2).

[serene steppe]

Can I skip normal mode raid gear if I do all that?

[robust crow]

no, not now you can't

[serene steppe]

And should I avoid getting the Tomestone weapon on my main?

[robust crow]

normal mode gear will be the same ilvl as crafted, if we go off previous tiers

but substat allocation is different

[serene steppe]

Will that be higher than Tomestone?

Aka 570

[robust crow]

if you don't full pmeld every crafted piece, normal mode gear will be better in some slots

[open coral]

You can get the tomestone weapon to start out with, but the one from EX2 is i580

[serene steppe]

Hmm

[robust crow]

and even in some cases normal mode gear is STILL better than pmeld

[serene steppe]

I don't bother with pentameld stuff

Too expensive

[open coral]

For right now, the tomestone and EX trial gear is the best you can get anyways since crafted 90 gear doesn't exist yet.

[serene steppe]

Pandemonium Normal will come with the Weekly locked Tomestones, right?

[twilit arch]

no

savage comes with astronomy

[serene steppe]

All righty

[keen shell]

hey, which chat would I go to in the server to ask for help completing a fate?

[ionic swallow]

how are people getting the christmas outfit? is through the questline?

[cursive ridge]

$$$

[open coral]

In game, using /shout to see if someone can come help you, or making a PF if it's a popular FATE.

[ionic swallow]

oh

[cursive ridge]

retired seasonal reward, so only available if you're a long time player or $$$

[keen shell]

sadly I'm free trial

[open coral]

Ah. Then... you're kind of out of luck.

What FATE are you trying to do that you need help with?

[keen shell]

It's Not Lupus in Eastern La Noscea, going for the achievement

[open coral]

Ooh. Yeah, you're not going to be getting any help with that one, probably. It's nominally soloable with decent gear and your chocobo to help.

Best if you're a tank or healer.

[cursive ridge]

i think you'll need at least two people, doubt you'll have enough dps to kill it with just 1 tank before it times out

[open coral]

Isn't it a 30m fate?

That's more than enough time.

[cursive ridge]

those fates take forever

[keen shell]

I would ask in novice network, but for some reason the chat for it keeps disappearing every now and then. I'm a tank, and I remember me and a healer friend having trouble doing it back in the day (new character), and there's about 20 mins left

[open coral]

What server are you on?

[keen shell]

Faerie

[open coral]

Oh. Damn. I don't have a character there, and WV isn't reliable enough that I'd want to risk it right now.

If you were on Cactuar or Sarganatas I could help you.

[keen shell]

Np, it's understandable, thanks for the advice tho

[ivory night]

Which Class is the hardest to learn and more harder to master?

[cursive ridge]

will depend on a player but definitely not ranged physical dps

[open coral]

Used to be SMN. Now... SGE, maybe?

[cursive ridge]

ranged physical is for people who want to play on easy mode

[open coral]

It's kind of subjective though.

Like, I find BRD particularly difficult to handle simply because there's so much to keep track of.

[dry cradle]

Hi guys do you know if it’s still possible to get the bonus xp for new characters ? I’m on recommended server but don’t see the bonus

[regal pawn]

sge is about as hard as SCH

[open coral]

SGE is easier than SCH to me, but I'd still put it in the "difficult to master" category.

[regal pawn]

It does have some neat things you can do

[ivory night]

But is there a Hard to learn DPS?

[open coral]

There are no Preferred status servers right now.

[faint flare]

Most of the complex jobs went abit easier

[open coral]

That's subjective, Althi.

[faint flare]

Black mage might still be up in the hard to master

[regal pawn]

Black Mage, by virtue of needing to plan around movement

[open coral]

Yeah, BLM is annoying.

I'm leveling mine right now and I hate it.

[regal pawn]

next i can think of is like

[faint flare]

But they have 2 triple charges for some reason

[regal pawn]

Samurai I guess

[ivory night]

So Black mage will be my new main alright ty

[dry cradle]

I see people telling to try to create during the night but it’s old message does this truck still work?

[regal pawn]

Not sure how much dead the loop is anymore, so that might be wrong

[cursive ridge]

the only difficulty on samurai is remembering the damn ability names

[dry cradle]

Tips

[faint flare]

!faq serverlock

[zinc orbit]

Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

[narrow jay]

I do not believe there are any Preferred servers right now. Recommended server just means the best one for you in your area.

[open coral]

During off hours, yes. Since that's when servers will actually be available for character creation.

[dry cradle]

Ok guys i will give a try just in case Thx a lot for your help

[pseudo depot]

what race and hairstyle is this? does anyone know

[strange coral]

Au'ra and Gyr Abanian Plait

[twilit arch]

there's no apostrophe in au ra

[pseudo depot]

Thanks is the hairstyle exclusive or is it a default hairstyle

[twilit arch]

its an unlockable hairstyle

from heaven on high sacks

[pseudo depot]

So it can be purchased via market?

[twilit arch]

yep

[pseudo depot]

🙏 hope its cheap

I spent 750k on my early to rise but getting bored of it

Since I unlocked early to rise, can I use it on au ra?

[twilit arch]

yes

[remote lintel]

yes

[pseudo depot]

Time to buy a fantasia

[remote lintel]

you can use unlocked hair on all races except viera and hroth

Collectible appraisers in cities. You may be too low level to submit it

[naive yew]

Hello; i wanted to ask is their a way to make a macro add macros to a skill bar. The same way i can add actions; [/hotbar action "Riot blade" 1 3] this for example would put riot blade in my 3rd slot,

[faint flare]

No

[remote lintel]

macros only execute stuff

[naive yew]

oh well; wish their wa a macro that could put macros on my bar same way i can put actions on my bar. Was hoping their was something like /hotbar macro "Macro16" 1 3 o rsomethign

[delicate field]

maybe using /hotbar copy command you can make something

[remote lintel]

that copies the whole hotbar

[delicate field]

oh right all of them

[faint flare]

Macros are purposely dumb to avoid people doing stupid shit with it

[naive yew]

Theirs allot of good ways to use them though

[faint flare]

In non combat

[naive yew]

and in combat

[faint flare]

Lol no

[remote lintel]

uhhhhh

[delicate field]

well the command is /hotbar copy Weaver 1 Carpenter 1. what if you copy a hotbar of shared macros. that might work

[faint flare]

All combat macros are shit

[naive yew]

eh no

[faint flare]

Only message ones are ok

[naive yew]

/ac "Fast Blade"
/hotbar action "Riot blade" 1 3
/hotbar action "Royal Authority" 1 4 this macro is great for example

[remote lintel]

only combat macros I use are specifically for shukuchi and tank invuln

[faint flare]

That's fucking horrible

[remote lintel]

WHAT

[strange coral]

oh no

[remote lintel]

oh my god

[naive yew]

i can press fast blade, and it makes slot 3 and 4 part of its chain

[faint flare]

Literally garbage

[remote lintel]

oh no

don't do that

[naive yew]

how is it garbage?

[faint flare]

Heavy prone to failure, literally killing your dps by 50%

Why you shouldn't macro your GCDs

Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.

Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA

[faint flare]

Your dps is down by over 50%

[remote lintel]

you can't weave between those, they're way slower than just pressing your skills

[naive yew]

i alreadyt testesd it

[remote lintel]

they'll fail half the time

[naive yew]

viny do u even know what tha macro does?

[faint flare]

See the video

[remote lintel]

we all do

[faint flare]

Yes I do and it's fucking terrible

[remote lintel]

lmfao

[naive yew]

theirs no different if i have a macro that cast riot blade over pressing riotblade

[narrow jay]

Macros do not look at whether a skill actually activates at the correct time. The only thing it does is automatically push the button. If that button is still on cooldown, the macro goes "oh well" and goes to the next button.

[faint flare]

You're going to be losing like 60 gcds

[remote lintel]

yes there js

[tepid stag]

anyone know where I can get another of the reaper gear box you get from unlocking the job? I accidentally threw mine away

[naive yew]

eh the macro is only using 1 skill

[faint flare]

Look at the video we posted, there is a VERY CLEAR DIFFERENCE

[remote lintel]

watch it

[faint flare]

The macro in the video only has 1 line

[naive yew]

you clearly don't understand what that macro does

[remote lintel]

yes we fucking do

[faint flare]

We fucking do

[naive yew]

what it do then?

[faint flare]

You're just dumb as bricks and can't see the difference

[remote lintel]

it doesn't queue your skills is what it does

[narrow jay]

Imagine a person who doesn't understand what macros do telling people who understand what macros do that they don't understand macros lol

[faint flare]

Again. See the video we linked

[remote lintel]

macros can't queue skills so you lose gcd time

[naive yew]

its not queing my skills though

its replacing sklls on my hot bar for me to press

[delicate field]

Guys. Rule #1 is be respectful. You guys are being quite disrespectful to Eevee

[remote lintel]

YES YHATS THE POINT

[strange coral]

/ac "Fast Blade" this alone is a problem. It does not queue. It is prone to failure.

[delicate field]

just case you don't agree doesn't give you the right to insult ppl

[remote lintel]

you need to queue skills

macros do not

so they're slower

[faint flare]

Cause it's not queing skills you're losing a fuck ton of dps

[naive yew]

you don't use fast blade after flast blade

[faint flare]

Again. See the video

Why you shouldn't macro your GCDs

Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.

Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA

[naive yew]

all my macro is doing is changiny my next 2 sslots so i can have 1 3 4 and 2 3 4

[faint flare]

Shut up

[naive yew]

so i save so much space

[remote lintel]

"queueing skills" refers to ANY skills used after another

[strange coral]

You're still trying to trigger Fast Blade with a macro. You won't be able to queue it after the GCD you used before it.

[faint flare]

Come back after watching the video

[remote lintel]

we know what we're fucking talking about

[naive yew]

i tested it on a dummy and it same dps output

[delicate field]

whats this sad face mean?

[remote lintel]

no, it isnt

[faint flare]

It's not

[remote lintel]

period

[fresh gate]

Give us numbers then show it

[lethal birch]

Gcd macros are awful, DO NOT. use them.

They are never equal dps to proper queuing

[faint flare]

https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA

[sleek needle]

Busy

[faint flare]

SEE THIS

Do you see how far behind the macro gets

You're losing hundreds of gcds in a fight

Cause it falls behind

[merry lake]

basically 'do not disturb', cant invite/trade/etc, helps streamers to avoid people spamming them for example

[naive yew]

lol no i'm not; i press my abbilities when i press them theirs no delay from when i press them. I am guessing it doesn't work if u try press the button early; but for my combo starter i'm losing nothign

[forest laurel]

[faint flare]

You don't understand

[inland pasture]

How long can you afk before kick?

[faint flare]

At all

[merry lake]

in game 30m

[lethal birch]

You're bad if you don't realise what you're losing by using gcd macros.

[remote lintel]

there is a delay of milliseconds when using a macro, when there is none for no macro, therefore you are losing dps

[faint flare]

Just see the God damn video

Before talking

[remote lintel]

the fact that you don't know what queuing skills is and that macros only work in whole seconds when the game GCD is 2.5 secs by default means that YOU don't know how macros work.

[faint flare]

https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA

[naive yew]

1 milisecond worth of delay; over having a tiny hotbar, and not needing 30 buttons

[forest laurel]

what's so hard about realising that you're losing effectively half a second every GCD which adds up as the fight goes on?

[naive yew]

hmm id take that 1 milisecond

[remote lintel]

WATCH THE VIDEO

[delicate field]

you guys are so triggered. take a chill pill. it's his DPS

[faint flare]

Ihttps://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA

[fresh gate]

You don’t pay my internet

[naive yew]

i never had the issue shown in the video

[forest laurel]

show us your dps numbers then.

[remote lintel]

the devs literally made combat macros to be bad, they admitted it. and you're trying to tell us it's great lmfao

[delicate field]

<@&100464652139368448> can someone help? this help channel has degenerated in an off topic flame war

[onyx kiln]

so is there a technical reason why Death's Design even is in the game? or at least the 10% damage boost. wouldn't it be simpler to just make reaper 10% stronger and just have the effect where you gain 10 points to your soul gauge when killing the target?

[faint flare]

Cause you're too slow to see je difference

[fresh lodge]

[remote lintel]

@onyx kiln most classes have a buff/debuff they're supposed to keep up

[faint flare]

All melees have a dmg buff

[naive yew]

and how am i meant to show u my dps numberes

[faint flare]

Cause you CLEAELY TESTED IT SOMEHOW

So show us the result

[forest laurel]

I mean, you're the one saying combat macros are good, and we're asking for evidence. you've currently provided nothing of value to your argument.

[naive yew]

its not like ff14 comes with in a dps tracker

[warm blade]

[boreal aurora]

i saw glowing weapon of crafter or gathere how do u get this?

[fresh lodge]

Oh are we arguing about GCD macros?

[naive yew]

i tested on dumbies and mobs; was no difference

[remote lintel]

@boreal aurora relic

[fresh lodge]

GCD macros are bad, move on

[onyx kiln]

yeah but most of them are integrated into their combos like disembowel or twin snakes, this one you need to use 1 of 2 GCD skills outside your basic combo to get a full minute of

[faint flare]

Armour crush

[forest laurel]

depends. sometimes achievements, sometimes relics.

[remote lintel]

@naive yew if you use combat macros then you have the issue shown in the video. it's literally built into the game you can't escape it

[lime ore]

Is Zhloe the only one of your custom delivery friends you get to dress up? I finished Mnaago's and she wouldn't let me change hers

[fresh lodge]

Its going nowhere

[spiral mango]

can I use trust in a HW dungeon ?

[twilit arch]

no

[remote lintel]

trusts are for shb/ew dungeons

[modern warren]

[lime ore]

ohhhh ty ty

[spiral mango]

i see

[forest laurel]

you get to dress up everyone but m'naago and ehll tou

[outer chasm]

on a lot of ninja skills it says behind the target, on a lot of monk skills it says target's flank, is there a difference?

[remote lintel]

@outer chasm yes it's side or behind

[fresh gate]

Flank is sides

[leaden ginkgo]

flank = left/right

[onyx kiln]

flank is side, rear is back

[naive yew]

yeah ur just toxic and closed minded; someone doesn't agree with u; u get anoying

[forest laurel]

flank is the sides, rear is the back

[sleek needle]

Funny that it's only m'naago and ehll tou you can't dress up

[remote lintel]

yes

how the hell do I use AST cards now

[ember goblet]

Misinformation

[faint flare]

Just play the card

[ember goblet]

Just play ast normally

[faint flare]

Don't worry about seals

[dapper steppe]

I like macroing mouseovers for healing but that's just because i cba with actually click healing :\

[leaden ginkgo]

just believe in the heart of the cards

[pulsar escarp]

Yeah it just seems like an old fashioned way of applying it like huton was for ninja… I guess it adds some complexity to the class when it’s relatively simple so it’s not too bad but that’s just how it is

[gritty oracle]

From what I've seen, the cards themselves work about the same, it's the seal system and minor arcana that was reworked

[remote lintel]

am I not supposed to aim for 3 seals?

[faint flare]

You can't control it

[ember goblet]

Aiming for 3 seals is good

[pulsar escarp]

You should try but it’s

[leaden ginkgo]

the seals are for yourself now

[ember goblet]

You can control it if youre good

[pulsar escarp]

RNG so lol

[ember goblet]

But sometimes rng will fuck you

[leaden ginkgo]

mana reg, atk spd, dmg+healing up

[lime ore]

Will there be beast tribes in EW in a later patch? I've never been around for a launch so I'm not sure when they do them

[hoary veldt]

its 1 gcd

[ember goblet]

But you can control the outcome

[pulsar escarp]

You can redraw but it’s not always gonna go well

[clever drum]

How do i get access to the novice chat. I have the novice icon next to my name

[twilit arch]

yes, they are later patches

[faint flare]

6% dmg buff on dps > 5% dmg buff on you

[pulsar escarp]

Shout for a mentor

[remote lintel]

so it's even more RNG than in shb??

[leaden ginkgo]

you can redraw but without sleevedraw you are at the mercy of RNG

[ember goblet]

Thats stb cards xd

[faint flare]

Yea cause no sleeve or multiple redraws

[leaden ginkgo]

and yeah it's way more rng heavy than shb

[clever drum]

Gotcha, and they will add me?

[faint flare]

You have 1 redraw

[leaden ginkgo]

it's more RNG by a billion miles

[remote lintel]

damn that's crazy

[ember goblet]

You can really do 3 seals but at least 2 seals will do

[pulsar escarp]

If a mentor sees it they prolly will

[leaden ginkgo]

also because of lord/lady of crowns

[pallid pawn]

How do I unlock these for Botany?

[faint flare]

Unlock the other gathering

[leaden ginkgo]

2 seals will not do because 3 gives the damage buff

[faint flare]

It's cross class skills from them

[ember goblet]

If you know how to manage your cards you can go divi on cd

[faint flare]

2 seals gives speed buff

[pallid pawn]

ahhh

[faint flare]

Which is decent

[ember goblet]

What i meant is 2 seals that are different. Still need 3 seals total for divi

[ionic swallow]

whats the easiest class? is it dancer, reaper, or red mage

[ember goblet]

2 will do if your rng is fucking you up

[twilit arch]

dancer

[remote lintel]

dancer and rdm

[faint flare]

Dancer = press glowy button job

[delicate field]

summoner is super easy too now

[faint flare]

And dance on Cooldown

[ember goblet]

But aiming for 3 is prefered, if you know how the cards and seals work you can definitely consistently land 3 different seals for every divi

[ionic swallow]

so is reaper hard? because ive been really eager to play it

[twilit arch]

Astrodyne's concept hasn't changed from divination's in shb. Ideally want 3 different seals, but its better to play on cd generally

[remote lintel]

I will learn the heart of the cards

@ionic swallow not really

[delicate field]

Summoner is now way easier to play than Red Mage. it's probably the easiest class now

[lime ore]

Where do you get the regional folklore books for botany?

[twilit arch]

which lvl

[delicate field]

there's not even a proc lol

[leaden ginkgo]

wdym seals for divi

[lime ore]

All of them

[pulsar escarp]

It’s quite simple especially if you take the effort to clarify what you don’t understand. After that it’s cruising

[lime ore]

Is it just scrips vendor or do I go visit the locales?

[twilit arch]

idyllshire/foundation for 60, rhaglrs/kugane for 70, eulmore/crystarium for 80, and radz-at-han for 90

[leaden ginkgo]

divination is unrelated to seals now

[lime ore]

ty!

[leaden ginkgo]

its just a simple party dmg buff

[hoary veldt]

reaper is the easiest class in teh game

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah

[remote lintel]

idk about that but it is easy

[pulsar escarp]

Easiest is subjective but easy is fact

[ember goblet]

Oh divi got changed and we now have astrodyne xd

[leaden ginkgo]

i'm way past this story point, but: say i'm still in the main heavensward story and only recently reached idyllshire. is it true that i can't buy shire gear until after i finished the last quest of the main story? i.e. ||beat ARF and thordan normal||

[remote lintel]

no

you can buy it when you reach idyllshire

[leaden ginkgo]

giving us this depending on different seal amount

Is it possible to have a macro that equips a weapon and then equips or uses the recommended gear?

[willow sandal]

how do I distinguish traders which can buy my stuff?

also, where are they in the new cities

[lethal mist]

So how long before the 580 weapons are not top of the line? A week?

[leaden ginkgo]

quite some time

should be a money bag icon without the arrows

[hot eagle]

about 3 weeks when savage drops

[onyx kiln]

how large is the EXP gain difference between players who use and dont use whatever that bonus effect you can get from FCs?

[faint flare]

FC gives 10-15% xp buff

[strange coral]

The closest you can get is using a gearset. There's no macro command for running the recommended gear function though.

[round arch]

||what do i get from these coffers from the ex hydealyn fight ?|| weapons are separately

[onyx kiln]

is that a drastic amount? really bad at % based math

[leaden ginkgo]

you open them for a weapon

[lethal mist]

It says in the description. Hover and it tells you

It's an IL 580 weapon depending on which class you open the coffer with. So if you open as DRG it's a DRG weapon

||i see. there were weapons sometimes not in a coffer. i was wondering. ok thx guys!||

[twilit arch]

the fight drops both coffer and the weapons normally

[lethal mist]

Basically double chance

[twilit arch]

its basically an rng protection, similar ish to totems

[marsh aurora]

does anyone know if viera will be able to equip helmets and stuff in the future? D:

[regal pawn]

They can equip some of the new helmets

[delicate field]

Can I ask a question about gcd and macros without getting destroyed?

[marsh aurora]

is there a place to see/preview them?

[solemn jewel]

The answer will be "macro bad"

[twilit arch]

whats the question

[willow sandal]

can I only have one 580 ring?

[regal pawn]

yup

[narrow jay]

Currently yes.

[tall mountain]

yeah, they’re unique

[mental garnet]

idk if i'm missing something but i can't find a way to spear multiple fish in one Gig anymore?

[willow sandal]

so the second ring and all the clothing is capped at 570?

[narrow jay]

If an item says UNIQUE at the top, you can only equip one.

[tall mountain]

correct

[delicate field]

lol well I'm trying to understand the whole timing thig. So let's say you use a GCD macro.
/ac "Spirits Within"
or you click the skill. Only 1 line macro
So what you guys are saying is that using a 1 line macro for the one skill has more delays than using the skill directly, even if the macro is just 1 skill?

[willow sandal]

why the fuck did I farm so many totems then

[tall mountain]

indeed, macros can’t “buffer” the gcd, meaning you can only activate them after the GCD ends

[narrow jay]

Hey, remember when you pinged mods for this topic?

[twilit arch]

they're asking for clarification

[tall mountain]

whereas actions can be buffered to activate the millisecond the gcd ends

[regal pawn]

Nope

Actions won't buffer either

[twilit arch]

i would strongly recommend, if you haven't watched the video that was linked several times, to do so

[tall mountain]

…?

[twilit arch]

as it shows the delay

[delicate field]

@twilit archyoutube is blocked here sorry

[lone bone]

Do I need my Zenith Relic equipped to recieve Atmas from Fates

[twilit arch]

😩

well, save it for later

[twilit arch]

yes

[lone bone]

ok, dangit

[sleek needle]

The skill won't queue, so it'd need to be pressed exactly at the right time

[regal pawn]

Taht's why all the action macros have the skill 13 times

13 frames for it to hopefully work

[tall mountain]

ye i mean standalone actions, outside of a macro

[delicate field]

Ok sorry one more thing, skill queueuing. So if I use a normal attack skill, the skill does in "reload" mode for liek 2 seconds. So if I press a GCD before that, it'll activate after teh refresh, but if you use a macro, it simply won't work until you press the macro after the refresh is done

I think i understand now

[zinc bramble]

Yes, and add in reflex time and latency and you lose a lot of time

[tall mountain]

if the ability has a 2.5 second gcd, and you press it again about 0.5 seconds before the gcd ends, it will cast it straight away when it can

[delicate field]

wow yeah i can see that. makes sense

[sleek needle]

Yup you got it

[regal pawn]

video of queue in action

[jagged matrix]

got a key for the complete edition but im only just starting on the lvl 50 quests after arr. is the 2 weeks free worth starting the sub for if im able to play about 4 hrs a day or just stick to trial until i finish hw

[regal pawn]

Macros just can't do it so you can't automate your entire rotation or combos

[delicate field]

ohhhh. I never noticed queueing was a thing. thx

[remote lintel]

@delicate field you'll notice that when you press skills normally you can press them a little early and the game will remember it and execute the skill, which macros don't do

thats queueing

[twilit arch]

i'd also keep in mind that complete comes with 30 days as well

so you'd be getting 54? (my math skills are incredibly lacking) days free give or take

[jagged matrix]

44 but ye idk if its worth it tho cus i can only play at peak times so id be queuing to get in

[leaden ginkgo]

I should buy the game after i finish heavensward or should i earlier?
IDK what are the perks of a sub

[remote lintel]

@leaden ginkgo that's preference

no wait

[sleek needle]

Will it give all of the free game time if they activate the code now?

[jagged matrix]

rn you cant get the starter edition tho

[regal pawn]

If you have a sub before the 21st, ye

[twilit arch]

currently can't buy starter/complete

[remote lintel]

you can't buy the starter now

[sleek needle]

If so yea, should be 30+7+14

[leaden ginkgo]

When i will be able to buy it i will

[remote lintel]

who knows

[twilit arch]

Ultimately, it'll be up to you to decide whether you're ok with paying for the sub after those free days are used up

[regal pawn]

And that's a big who the fuck knows lmfao

[jagged matrix]

whenever the servers arent about to pop

[leaden ginkgo]

btw my sub ends at dec21 do i still get +14 days?

[regal pawn]

yes

You have the sub before 21st, so you count

[leaden ginkgo]

poggers

[jagged matrix]

i see, cheers for the info

[leaden ginkgo]

Friend told me i should buy complete ed,

[jagged matrix]

thought the 7 days was only given for ppl before the 6th?

[twilit arch]

complete edition is also not available currently

[jagged matrix]

both arent but yes complete would save you a bit

[twilit arch]

only thing you can purchase at the moment is endwalker

which is unuseable for trial users

[jagged matrix]

i preordered a day before full release for the bonus which is why i have a key for starter n endwalker

[civic kernel]

Post Ew what is the highest I level for equipment and where can I get it?

[regal pawn]

tomestone armor + ring in Radz

how are outside buffs from food scaled to synced content? like using IL+100 food for a lvl 50 EX trial synced

DirectHitRate

Vitality

Powered by XIVAPI

[round arch]

is the 90006 error related to server issues. internet is working fine here.

[faint flare]

90k is net issues typically

[wintry chasm]

So it ups your critical hit by 8% up to 2
Therefore if you use super awesome food but synced to level 50, you'll still get the 8% increase and since your stats are lower you'll probably not even hit that increased stats limit @sick oak

[sick oak]

I just saw high level food don't really changed that % increase, but only the max amount you can possible get. So, that makes sense. Thanks

If FFXIV keeps crashing as soon as the game loads in-world despite resetting textools, uninstalling it, uninstalling gpose and reinstalling FFXIV as a whole what other steps can I do to fix?

[hoary ferry]

hey guys, i just finish shadowbringers.. i was wondering, is it worth using materia in the lvl 530 allagan gear, or should i save for the endwalker gear?

[lethal mist]

I'd look at reinstalling Windows myself but depends how annoying that is for you. I don't keep a lot on my C drive anyway.

[wintry chasm]

Just save, no point ever using materia on leveling gear

[hoary ferry]

ok ty

[hot pine]

yea, save for the tomestone gear

[prime thunder]

Is it possible to reformat the ssd and clean install or I'd have to completely reinstall windows as a whole?

[lethal mist]

Not sure what you mean. Formating the SSD wipes it yes. If your Windows is on it then you'd have to reinstall windows.

[leaden ginkgo]

Is potd the best way to get a class to 30?

[prime thunder]

Windows is installed to 1 SSD and FFXIV is installed to a different one

[boreal storm]

If you have bad queue times

[lethal mist]

Yes in that case, no, wiping the SSD prolly won't do anything as it's the same as reinstalling. I meant reinstalling your windows drive to resolve anything that could be underlying, like driver issues or what not.

[warm snow]

I'd say job quests + hunting log will get you to dungeons which will have a large effect

What is the difference between nDPS, rDPS, pDPS and aDPS on FFLogs?

• neutral DPS (nDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus the damage from buffs you received
• RaidDPS (rDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus the damage from buffs you received plus the damage from buffs you contributed
• Personal DPS (pDPS) is: Your TotalDPS without being adjusted for buffs.
• adjusted DPS (aDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus single target buffs applied to you (devilment, dragon sight, astro cards, etc)

[gusty rock]

How do you get Bozjan gold and platinum coins? I didn't play when it was new, and I really wanna get the early to rise hair.

[tall mountain]

dunno if you figured it out already but yes

blue X means your current class can't equip it but you have a class at the right level to equip it, red X means you can't currently equip it even on the right class

[topaz galleon]

Need help with this issue.
Game stops reading inputs for a few seconds in random intervals.

[wintry trellis]

Do it work on other games

[topaz galleon]

I can try with other games... give me a minute. But judging by the test window, it should work with other games fine.

[wintry trellis]

Mainly progressing through the story and doing the dungeons. There are some quests in gangos you can pick up that’ll give you coins. You also may need to covert bozjan coins for silver ones, into gold ones.

[wintry trellis]

It worth a try at least

[gusty rock]

There are dungeons in Bozjan? I'm only like resistance 7, so I haven't seen too much yet.

[humble epoch]

Does POTD get easier if i go in solo?

[lime ore]

I just saw about rdps/adps etc, so that means AST and DNC are still pretty weak even with the buffs they bring?

[faint flare]

No

It's harder

No scaling happens

[humble epoch]

is it 31-40 that's the best to grind for levels?

[rose current]

hmm, not all blue quests unlock something?

[wintry trellis]

Iirc you don’t get platinum coins until you finish the quest line for bozja so I’d buy off the market board. Though bozja is more populated right now people are only farming fates and getting through the instances you specifically need will be hard

[faint flare]

That's why necromancer is so valued cause it's hard to get

[wintry trellis]

Ie the dungeons and other massive fights

[gusty rock]

I was going to buy it, but it shot up to like 600k+ after Endwalker. It was 250k before. I regret not buying it.

[wintry trellis]

I mean if you wanna do the grind go for it. But you may have to PF every single instance

[topaz galleon]

Yeah works fine with other games.

[wintry trellis]

Or get lucky that some people will miss exp and go into those fights

[wintry trellis]

I’ve noticed since EW my inputs won’t go through but it’s hard for me if it’s Bc I just moved or my game is wack

[topaz galleon]

Huh... Now XIV isnt accepting ANY inputs from my controller

Not even on the Calibration screen

[somber cypress]

Servers going down, no input response usually means DC is coming. Got kicked thrice out of Lamia in 10 mins

Mounts FAQ

When can I get my first mount?
The quest that allows you to use mounts, ''My Little Chocobo'', is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest ''The Company You Keep''. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose, and you'll need to buy a Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 required Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes immediately after ''The Company You Keep''.

Are there any differences between mounts?
Some mounts allow multiple people (2/4/8) to ride at once, with all mounts having the same movement speed. A partial exception to this rule is the SDS Fenrir, a mount from the Mog Station. The SDS Fenrir acts as if you have the first mount speed boost obtained from completing specific quests in the story, making it a bit faster than other mounts, but only until completing the relevant story quests for that zone.

Can I make my mount faster?
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

So I just went and pentamelded a second set of crafter gear so I could spiritbond farm with it. Is it possible to see my materia list if everything is pentamelded? like if I just wanna look at all of them at once?

[boreal storm]

Enter expansion code

[twilit arch]

can open the materia melding menu and select the "display gear that cannot host additional materia" option to show pentamelded gear

open the menu thru the button that is in the actions and traits > general tab that is

[craggy tinsel]

perfect, tysm

When does aehterpool arms become red?

[white bronze]

Yea my purchase went straight to the ether

[glass cradle]

guess i still need to get farther in the MSQ before I can join a company

[weary sand]

Is there a way to cut down on animation size/spectacle? I don’t know if that makes sense but I found myself getting lost during raids due to the amount of stuff going on, don’t know if I can change some setting or that’s just how it is.

[white bronze]

Haven't gotten one..bout to email square

[strange coral]

character config -> character tab -> battle effects

[weary sand]

Thanks!

[onyx kiln]

as a reaper, is it better to save up all your resources to one big burst window or spread them out a bit?

[faint flare]

That's what you.do on ANY resource job

If you could have saved it for any kind of raid buff, then it's always a gain

[topaz elk]

hello! does anyone know if visiting another world will help with queues the next time I log in? ie, my home world is behemoth but I visit famfrit and log out on famfrit. if famfrit queues are shorter than behemoth queues, will I log in faster?

[gritty oracle]

if I call a friend over, enter gpose, then the friend leaves, would they leave from gpose too? (this is an awkward question)

[onyx kiln]

yeah but it feels like i contribute so little while building up my resources compared to other jobs

[gritty oracle]

It's always a DPS gain to get your tools out under buffs. Other resource building jobs also just do their 1-2 or 1-2-3 while waiting on buff windows (dnc is so boring outside tech step that I could fall asleep at the keyboard, and nin is not much better)

!faq melding

[zinc orbit]

Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.

How can I get my gear melded?

To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.

Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?

Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.

The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

Image URL: https://i.imgur.com/Be6dQaZ.png

[twilit arch]

that item is already capped on crit

[faint flare]

Bottom half

[twilit arch]

so you can't meld more of it

[willow sandal]

I see, thanks

[craggy tinsel]

this at the bottom helps a lot with knowing what you can and can't materia

[serene steppe]

So I finished the Saintly Inspiration quest

Am I done with the seasonal event?

[craggy tinsel]

if you got an achievement, you're done

if not, you're not

there's two quests to the event

[serene steppe]

I got the achievement

[white bronze]

I really jus lost money 🤦🏿‍♂️

[serene steppe]

But there is one quest after that with Godbeet

[craggy tinsel]

complaining here won't help you, contact support and wait for them to respond

[craggy tinsel]

that's a repeatable quest

[prime thunder]

Yea it seems like something has gone wrong somewhere in the process. I never had problems with textools even after the EW update it was only after gpose reshader was installed

[serene steppe]

Ah okay, so I'm full done then?

[craggy tinsel]

mhm

[serene steppe]

Huh, I'm missing one of the items that was listed as obtainable.
And a seasonal shop was also mentioned.

[valid turret]

What's the mmo-champ equivalent for FFXIV? Wowhead equivalent?

[serene steppe]

In that they do guides and help articled?

Probably Pookah

If i purchase something that is account-wide which accounts mail does it come to

There's a lala in a saint outfit nearby that sells the housing item

I'm not in endwalker but I saw this and wondered what are the rewards for an endwalker FATE completion?

[valid turret]

A good news outlet, a good database/reference site, etc.

[serene steppe]

Just foind it

[full pollen]

Is it possible to hide your Name in the Markboard History?

I'm annoyed by People whispering me with their Sellorders

[strange coral]

TheBalance discord and site covers job info (guides, rotations, stats, BiS, etc). News usually comes through the Lodestone directly from SE. GarlandDB and GamerEscape are good for looking up database-type stuff. The FF14 ConsoleGamesWiki is good for some general info/guides.

[valid turret]

Thank you!

Hey, does anyone know the name of the acoustic guitar song that plays during the happier scenes in MSQ?

[jade quartz]

Vendor nearby in santa suit.

[flint relic]

Does anyone know if the dream hat is still buyable and tradable? I can't find it in the recompense/journeyman salvager npcs anymore

[twilit arch]

dream hat is only purchaseable from the recompense officer if you participated in the event years ago

[serene steppe]

Will Khloe's inventory get updated? If so when?

Specifically the bronze/silver certificate rewards

[random dune]

Does fantasia allow name change too?

[twilit arch]

no

[white bronze]

Wait so u can't buy endwalker anymore ?

[strange coral]

Yes, you can

[twilit arch]

You can buy endwalker, you can't buy starter edition/complete

[white bronze]

I bought endwalker like 30 mins ago and no email or code and I read an article about no more sales

@jade quartz I didn't realize it was a firework. I thought I could buy stuff with it XD

[wintry trellis]

Uhh at some point there might be a crafted chest with 5 meld slots with one of the certificates. I forgot which one it’s under tho. And that’s assuming it’s always been a thing. I know it existed in shb. Idk about onward.

[wintry trellis]

!faq thebalance

[twilit arch]

the 5 meld slot chest would be under gold certs

[twilit arch]

atleast until the next raid tier

Does hard and extreme level 50 trials both drop mounts?

[twilit arch]

no

only extreme

[long lintel]

thanks

[delicate field]

is there a way to see which hunt you accepted in a log somewhere?

[twilit arch]

hunt bills are in your key items section

[wintry chasm]

^

[delicate field]

oh wait so i accepted all of them?

it shows all 5

[twilit arch]

yeah

[wintry chasm]

You accept them in bunches yes

[twilit arch]

you accept a stack of 5 bills

for the daily ones

[delicate field]

oh so when i clear all 5, gotta wait for tmr?

[twilit arch]

mhm

[wintry chasm]

For that specific bill yes

[twilit arch]

but do note, that each set of hunts have their own bills so they're not connected

[delicate field]

ehh so it takes like weeks to unlock all the riding maps with allied seals?

[twilit arch]

riding maps aren't worth it

[delicate field]

why not?

[twilit arch]

they only affect ground speed, and you get flying once you complete ARR

[delicate field]

oh

[twilit arch]

and flying is fastest speed by default

[wintry chasm]

And even then if you want the riding maps you honestly might as well just do the blue mage carnival since that gives you a disgusting amount of seals

[delicate field]

wait what about those from bicolor gemstones? same thing? just for ground?

[twilit arch]

yes

[wintry chasm]

Yep

[delicate field]

oh. thx lol

[boreal storm]

Killing A or S ranks are better for getting seals/nuts

[lucid narwhal]

trying to get the dream hat https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/1ad8950ff87

where can i get the materials?

[limber swan]

What's a fast way to lvl up Reaper?

[sinful holly]

if ive got full handsaint gear, when should i even try to replace them

[twilit arch]

you can check to see if people are selling it on the marketboard, but the recompense officer only offers it to people who participated in the old 1.0/2.0 event (dream hat materials being 1.0 item)

[twilit arch]

can wait until 90 to replace

[sinful holly]

gotcha ty ty

[wintry trellis]

Bozja into dungeon spam or braindead bozja to 90

[sinful holly]

wait... crafted 90 gear or script 90 gear?

[twilit arch]

either or

[civic kernel]

As I understand it you can only earn a certain amount of aphorism tomestones each week right so how much is it that you can earn max and when's the reset?

[wintry trellis]

Depends on if you want pentameld or not

[twilit arch]

crafted 90 is going to be better than scrip 90, even lightly melded

[wintry trellis]

^

[limber swan]

wdym by bozja into dungeon dungeon spam btw?

[twilit arch]

That said tho, if you aren't going to be a serious end game crafter, scrip 90 is perfectly fine

[wintry trellis]

Bozja 71-80 into 81-89 dungeon spam

[sinful holly]

gotcha thank you, i just never know what i need to meld into it

[ruby herald]

Does anyone happen to know how many hours it takes for Daivapida to respawn?

[limber swan]

bet alright got it. I havent done bozja in a minute tbh. What should i do there. Just Fates or castrum or something?

[mossy delta]

what are these icons next to the hq materials number ?
speaking of, weren't hq mats removed in EW?

[sinful holly]

640 from roulette, and whenever daily is

[twilit arch]

gathered HQ was removed, not crafted HQ. it indicates you can use HQ materials for initial quality boost

[mossy delta]

you mean i can craft HQ leather but not gather HQ skin for example, correct?

[twilit arch]

correct

[mossy delta]

okay i see

[spiral inlet]

is there an updated website for fisherman... can't find specific fish ; ;

[wintry trellis]

Fates only. Don’t lock into instances as no one is doing them

[ionic swallow]

is there a way to do different sit animations? Because, I've seen other races do different sitting animations.

[wintry trellis]

/cpose

[ionic swallow]

ohh ok thank u

[serene gust]

As drg do you just replace jump with high jump at 74 or run them both?

[leaden ginkgo]

i've sorta of run into an issue. I'm trying to get to storm sergeant 2nd class and i'm currently corporal. I've been told i can told in gear, but that's just not an option. Fates just don't give me much seals and levequests give none. I've also completed first part of hunting log

[patent palm]

Helloooo, new free trial player sick of getting thrown back to desktop without even being able to SEE what the queue is.

Is there a sticky or FAQ outlining the best way to purchase? Thinking of standard edition + the 30 days sub that comes with that to start, then waiting for the rest of the expansions when they go on sale since I'm not planning on burning through the std edition content anytime soon. Does this make sense?

[ionic swallow]

u cant purvhase the game rn

[wintry trellis]

It transforms into high jump iirc

[patent palm]

wat (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

[serene gust]

Ahh thanks

[ionic swallow]

yep hold on

[wintry trellis]

Are you going to the right person for turn ins

[patent palm]

as of TODAY

holy nips

[slate jackal]

the adventurer in need clusters aren't once a day right?

[leaden ginkgo]

the personal officer in the main GC area?

[narrow jay]

Short version is that the game is currently literally so full that SE has closed off new purchases. It's also closed off new people wanting to try the free trial of the game, too, so.

[patent palm]

the fact that i was on earlier and took the dog out and came back to a title screen and now not being able to get on just got 10000x worse

AND on free trial i can't even VIEW the queue is just

[leaden ginkgo]

unless i'm trying to turn them into the wrong npc or just can't i'm at a loss lol. Just fates give little to none and levequests give none so lol

[regal pawn]

I believe you need lieutenant for gear hand in?

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah, damn lol

[regal pawn]

sergeant second class*

[leaden ginkgo]

is there any fast way to get seals then? The levequests give none and fates are just such a tiny amount

[regal pawn]

HAve you done your hunting log for the GC?

[narrow jay]

Yeah, you basically just have to farm them up the slow way. Fates, the GC hunting log tiers, just doing content.

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah first part

[regal pawn]

Do 2nd as well, you'll need it for the rank up anyways

[leaden ginkgo]

can't do 2nd part as of yet

[regal pawn]

ah, oke

[narrow jay]

Once you get to 2nd LT you can mass turn in gear for better seals, but at that point you also need to start working your squadron for 1st LT/Capt.

[regal pawn]

You could load into leveling roulette as the role that's adventurer in need
gives you a fair bit

[leaden ginkgo]

slow way it is, and i would do that, but only dps jobs currently so that'll never be needed xD

[lean lily]

The Starbird minion is only available on the last chest or is it completely random?

[regal pawn]

Last chest
like every other dungeon drop that's a minion or a furniture

[gray fern]

Can someone tell me where to get this black top?

[twilit arch]

its hempen camise on highlander hyur

so if you're not female highlander, it'll look differently

[viscid lake]

Where do you get Sylkis Buds?

[gray fern]

Oh wow really?

Bit thank you for the name

[regal pawn]

Housing gardening

[twilit arch]

hempen camise looks differently on each race

[regal pawn]

Oh wait a sec
you might also be able to buy it from a vendor

[twilit arch]

can buy it from the vath vendor

[regal pawn]

yeah

[twilit arch]

you need to have unlocked the beast tribe though

[gray fern]

Thank you very much

[twilit arch]

er, that comment isn't about the hempen camise

[gray fern]

The yellow skirt. Where do we get that?

[twilit arch]

looks like lady errant's skirt, which is mogstation

[gray fern]

You mean the store

[twilit arch]

yes

[scarlet dove]

Hello friends. How can I track my gemstone trader progress to see whether I'm close to being able to buy locked items from the shops?

[scarlet dove]

❤️ Thank you @twilit arch!

[covert pumice]

Since a certain ||plugin|| isnt available still, how viable is it to make mouseover macros for all the targeted ogcd of astrologian? I cant stand the clicking and target switching, so clunky

[paper lion]

anyone know when character renaming service will be back up??

[gritty oracle]

You likely won't be able to double weave with it and it may clip 1.5s gcds, but /ac "Action" <mo> should work.

[covert pumice]

I cant double weave at all with the vanilla system anyway...

target switching is an action itself basically

[gritty oracle]

they said they'll notify us, but haven't done so. I'd say like a couple weeks, when the congestion is lifting slightly.

[paper lion]

yall are telling me theres plugins for target switching 🔥_🔥

[forest sage]

frontlines roulette is only as freelancer/random GC now right?

[covert pumice]

There is one plugin that lets you mouseover without the macro bullshit, but the dev is taking his time updating it

[gritty oracle]

I'm a sch main who doesn't use any mouseover macros. For me, it helps a lot to continuously hover my mouse above the party frames, and I've rebound F1 to "switch to last enemy",as well as tabtargeting to the middle mouse button. Also, you can switch while your animation is happening.

[gritty oracle]

correct

[formal phoenix]

is using the recommended gear button always the best choice?

[paper lion]

i have never used plugins, the only mods ive ever touched are textools. please inform me of the good ones i am begging

[forest sage]

k keep getting immortal flames and losing so I was wondering if it was just rng

[paper lion]

(i have dalamud but have no idea how it works)

[forest sage]

once in a while it's shit, especially during ARR leveling where the stats are weird, but overall it should be

[gritty oracle]

Yes, until you start doing extreme trials and savages, you won't need stat optimization between different sets of the same item level

[covert pumice]

If you use the custom launcher, just press esc and open the dalamud plugins page and install some that interest you

[gritty oracle]

think they patched that in 6.0

[forest sage]

for gathering/crafting it's based on the total stats of the items though, so if you have melds on one piece and not on a better piece, it'll select the melded one if the stats are higher

[covert pumice]

Simple Tweaks is nice

[forest lark]

Whats the cheapest easiest way to level up alc and cul, ingredients for alc collectibles are way too much currently, pretty much all mats, and I dont have allowances, did crystarium deliveries

I only yave left alc and cul to get to 90 preferably would love some fast method so I can finally docus on my red mage 😭

First lvl 81 collectible requires some enchanted ink that i cannot craft since its 87 recipe and its overly expebsive on mb

[gritty oracle]

until 80 I recommend ishgard, from there most likely leves, Precraft like 15-21 and wait for your reliveries, you get a couple per day.

[forest lark]

Yeah, I did all deliveries and 99 leves leveling other crafters and gatherers

Now Im literally left with nothing except collectibles idk, but alc has expensove mats

I think enchanted ink is about 5-10k a piece and its sold in 10 stacks on mb

Idk what to craft cause im out of allowances xd

[gritty oracle]

Then I'd say shelf the project for a bit to level rdm, and wait for your allowances

[forest lark]

I guess thats true, I might hit zadnor for a while

[silver ruin]

does upgrading a retainer from a class>job reset all their progress if its the same line? eg conjurer>whm?

[boreal storm]

No, it’s just like normal job stones

[patent palm]

soooo given the free trial shenanigans, is there a (3rd party) way to look at current server queues? / Free Trial greenlit login times?

[forest lark]

I mean, ppl went crazy with mat prices, I can gather and craft most of it with ease, but seriously especially the new leathers

[silver ruin]

k thanks

[strange coral]

The ink is level 78

[gritty oracle]

class > job locks them in the job, they cannot switch jobs like that. You need to reset them to nothing if you want to swap classes or stay on cnj

[silver ruin]

fullteach answered it right

i just tested it, it kept levels from cnj>Whm

is what i was wondering about

[forest lark]

Let me see, hmm

Enchanted imythrite ink

Is lvl 87 alc recipe and its require for lvl 81 alc collectible

[strange coral]

The 87 ink is a collectible, but the ink for the level 81 collectible is a different ink

[forest lark]

How come, why put 87 recipe mat for 81 collectible

I have no choice but to buy it

[little swift]

Its only resetting or changing a job that resets retainer levels

[silver ruin]

ty

[strange coral]

It doesn't want the rarefied ink as an ingredient

[forest lark]

Ik, its fir rarefied gaja codez

Codex*

[twilit arch]

Enchanted Dimythrite Ink isn't 87 craft

[craggy tinsel]

Enchanted Dimythrite Ink is 78, not 87.

[forest lark]

Really?

[twilit arch]

yes

[craggy tinsel]

Really.

[forest lark]

How come I couldnt craft it at 80

[twilit arch]

its a shadowbringers recipe

[forest lark]

What? Lol I must have not seen right

[craggy tinsel]

manganese ink is the level 87 recipe

[forest lark]

I swear I pressed check crafting recipe and it sidnt let me see it

[steel canopy]

Really https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/a21ca6fe3bc/
